During World War II, artists stationed at the Naval Medical School at Bethesda, MD, produced thousands of posters, and illustrations used to train and educate Navy sailors and Marines. It may seem odd, but several of these artists served in the rating of pharmacist's mate. The following series of posters was drawn in 1945 by such a corpsmen.
